staring at the sun

it’s just hanging there, all the time, every day–
stop–
it takes up half the sky–
you can’t be serious–
and we spend our entire lives–
please? please stop?
i just want to see it, you know? the whole thing, just once–
then it’s the last thing you’ll ever see–
i know, okay?

i know that.

you think i don’t know that?
